Why recruiting does not happen by itself
A vacancy that nobody manages stays open. Resumes from job boards do not fit, the strongest candidates are not looking, and the hiring manager changes the requirements after the third interview. A recruiter needs a plan for each stage: who we are looking for, where they are, how to reach them, how to assess them and how to bring them to the first working day.
What changes after this course
You agree the profile with the hiring manager before the search starts. You search in more places than your competitors: social networks, messengers, communities, personal websites. You find contacts with plugins and write messages that get answers. You assess with structured interviews and scorecards. You close the offer, hand the newcomer to onboarding and report in numbers.

Who is teaching
I am Mike, the #1 HR instructor on Udemy, with 1,800,000+ course enrollments from 170,000 students, and the author of about 200 books on Amazon. I built the people system at Preply as it became a unicorn and worked at Wargaming, iDeals and Alfa-Bank across 20 years in HR. I hold PHRi, SHRM-CP and HCI sHRBP certifications and represent HRCI in Eastern Europe.
At Preply and iDeals we knew our numbers. To close one vacancy we had to add about 300 candidates to the database, make about 50 calls and hold 20 to 30 interviews; 5 to 10 candidates went to the hiring manager, and one was chosen. We planned the work by weeks from these numbers. At Preply we found the 300 candidates and their emails with contact tools, loaded them into our system and sent a chain of letters a week or ten days apart, each with a different subject; people who did not open the first letter often answered the third or the fifth. Recruiting does not happen by itself: the process has to be managed.
